I wondered the same thing and did a search on the internet. http://thekitchenmart.com/kitchen_fairies.html I'm wondering if it is one of these little characters? They are adorable.
Oh man! It just sits there?!?! I thought it was some gadget that cooked and cleaned up for you!!! Now a gift like that would really be something!!!! :rotfl:
 
Hi guys. I'm sorry I haven't been around in a while. I was reading along most of the time, but just got tired of posting such negative news about Mom. The short message is that she seemed to be getting much better, then they got as far as they could weaning her and weren't able to make any more progress. We had to turn off the ventilator, as she had a medical directive against living with one, and it was time to end the suffering without hope of her ever getting better.

It was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through -- she's been in the hospital since August 23rd, and I've missed a total of 4 days seeing her. I'm lucky I have such a great boss. It took a real toll on my family, but Randy is an amazing Dad and really did well without me around much.

The support you have shown me has made such a difference to me. I promised my Dad that we would make our scheduled trip to Disney, and although I shed many tears, we are here at WDW. Thank you to everyone who contributed to all the wonderful surprises I've received. Since we had 4 hours to pack before leaving on this trip, a number of things were left behind, including the card reader to be able to post pictures. As soon as we get home, or get a card reader, I will post pictures.

I have also really appreciated the posts, PMs, notes, postcards sent from trips and Christmas cards. I prayed for God to take her because I didn't want to see her suffer, so I was relieved at first, then mad because she didn't take care of herself, and now heartbreaking sorrow that she is no longer with us. Our Pastor said that was normal and that I shouldn't worry or feel guilty, that it's part of the grieving process.

I know many of you have already delt with this, and I may need some advice as we get on down the road. On one hand I still can't believe that the Mom I used to see every day now is gone, yet she's been so sick for so long that it's hard to remember the good times.

Thanks again for everything.

One of my former employers had a kitchen wizard. His name was Scott. He would go to the grocery, bring all the stuff back to the house, whip up 5-7 dinner entrees, label them, put them away, and clean up the kitchen. Magical! :wizard:

NO NO NO! That means I'M the kitchen fairy. I want it to be someone else. Preferably buff and good looking. ;)

It sounds like Elizabeth might have the right connections to get one of those for you! :rotfl:
 
Marci - :grouphug: I can only imagine how difficult these past months have been for you! I hope you are able to enjoy your trip, and please know that we are all here for you when you get home! :grouphug:

Oh Marci. I am so sorry for your loss. You posted your words very eloquently. I know that there is nothing that I can say to take away the pain, so here's a :grouphug:. Take care of yourself and try to enjoy the time with your family. Speaking of family, I don't think I've ever seen a picture of you all. Thanks for putting one in your sig. You are a beautiful bunch!
 
Happy birthday Katie!!!

Chris never knows what to get me either. This year is all electronics. I bought myself this laptop :teeth: Then Chris and my parents are buying extra batteries for the camcorder, digital camera, a laptop chill pad camera case, sd case, lens cleaner, you get the picture. I should have everything that we need for our next Disney trip and then some. I did notice a few presents hidden today that said to Deb Merry XXXmas :rolleyes1 I'm not sure what's in those, and I'll probably never tell :blush:

Yeah, I don't want to BE the kitchen fairy, either! Besides, it would take more than a sprinkle of pixie dust for me to be competent in that arena.

Scott was a very nice guy, and a great cook, but not buff or particularly handsome. Priorities, girls, priorities! ;)

Heidi's home! :yay: Welcome back! That flight delay sounds ugly! Bronchitis doesn't sound like a barrel of laughs, either! Get well soon!
 
It's getting to be very late for me. I'm going to bed and dream of my kitchen wizard.
